Hollywood starlet Sierra's hard partying gets her sent to a rehab clinic in the mountains of Utah. Unable to handle the stern head of the clinic Sierra escapes the facility and arrives in the small town of Heber, Utah. There she meets Tyler, a handsome educated young man who has returned from studying Theatre at Yale University to help restore his family's playhouse. Sierra joins the cast of his latest play, Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" as Kate, and not only learns about "real acting" but develops a friendship with the cute tomboyish director of the play who is secretly in love with Tyler. Without the usual ego-feeding hype provided by her entourage, Sierra learns some of life's most important lessons and simple pleasures. In doing so she discovers who she really is inside, what really is important in life and romance.
